I need a trailer to haul my F-150 with and sense it has 1 ton axles now with 42's it is 87" wide. This means deck over to fit and every time I find a light weight deck over it sells before I can get to it.

Here is the add.

Opinions??? Pulling with an DRW F-350.

That is one heavy duty trailer.
Yeah it will work and you won't have any problem pulling it with your pickup.

You might consider taking an axle off it will pull a lot easier.
8 bolt wheels means they are heavy axles so you good to go.

Not too heavy, just well built

That's what I told him, too. If it was a new trailer, then yeah it would be overkill but since it's used and inexpensive Dale would be just getting a heavy duty trailer for a light duty price.

I also worry about pushing that bad boy up my drive. Probably need to unload the truck to do it.:alberteinstein:

I'd buy the trailer and then figure that stuff out...burn that bridge when you get to it :stupido2:

Called the guy and he said it had no brakes on the trailer. It has a 4 pin connector.:flute:

Your dually will handle stopping it. Just have to be patient with it.
You can add brakes later if you want.

Backing up the drive will be a little tough on the tranny. Probably best to unload first when you can.

Well that one was a bust. It had a bent axle and I bet it weighted close to 6000lbs. The trailer would be like towing my truck with no load..:stupid:
